Chapter 66: Li Tai, the Attacking King of Wei

White wrote down a formula for Li Tai and walked out of the courtyard with his hands behind his back. He was excited www.biquge.info although it was just a very simple leverage formula, who could guarantee that the little fat man Li Tai would not bring anything new to Datang?

Bai Qi found himself beginning to appreciate Li Tai, the little fat man, and it is said that he had set aside a special area in his palace for experiments, where experiments on buoyancy and levers were conducted every day, and the experimental data was written in a room full of data.

Someone once said that only paranoia can survive. I don't know where Li Tai's paranoia about knowledge can take him, and even how far can Datang go? The pinnacle of cold weapons, or entering the era of hot weapons? White is looking forward to the surprise that Li Tai will give him.

What an honor it would be to see you reign over the world in my lifetime!

The autumn sun shines through the dense leaves of the banyan tree, sprinkling a little dappled on the ground. The autumn wind rises, the leaves sway with the wind, and the sound of "rustling" comes out, listening to the ears, it feels like this autumn morning, extraordinarily quiet.

Li Tai didn't spend too much time on this matter after all. He fiddled with the lever for a moment, then came out of the courtyard, sat silently at the table, picked up the bowl and ate his breakfast slowly.

"I'm sure I'll be able to figure out the buoyancy and leverage formula you gave me!" Finding that Bai Qi was looking at him with a playful eye, Li Taiyuan said unconvinced with a round face.

Bai Qi laughed, took a sip of white porridge with pickles, put down the bowl in his hand, and said comfortably: "I never doubted your ability, Qingque!" ”

"Call me His Royal Highness King Wei!" Li Tai gritted his teeth and said, pretending to be old at a young age.

"Qingque, if you add a pulley between a few levers, then a person can lift an object weighing hundreds of stones, and that scene is exciting to think about!" White seduces Li Tai.

Li Tai's body trembled for a moment, and soon quieted down again, slowly drinking the porridge, without raising his head, and said, "Don't tempt me with your set, I'm not one of those stupid people!" He put down the bowl and asked him to fill another bowl for himself, and then said to White seriously: "There is a problem with the data you gave me last time, but I have adjusted it, and I will do an experiment in my palace this afternoon, you can come and take a look!" ”

"Can you guarantee safety?"

"During the production process, two people were injured...... Qingque lowered his head and said slowly.

Not far from where he lived, Li Tai used to be a small garden, but now it is full of models of waterwheels, levers and other machines, and there are some scattered experimental sundries piled up everywhere on the ground.

"You're too messy here, and you don't meet the requirements of a lot of experiments." Bai Qi said to Li Tai with a frown.

"Well, I'll have someone clean up." Li Tai never refuses other people's good suggestions, and immediately calls someone to clean up the debris here.

Li Tai cautiously came out of the room with a packet of black powder and opened it in a shady corner.

White picked up a small handful of black powder with his hand and asked Li Tai, "What is the ratio?" Is there anything else mixed in besides sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter? ”

Li Tai glanced at Bai Qi with admiration, and held a notebook: "Sulfur charcoal is 20 percent, sand and gravel are 50 percent, in order to make this black powder fully burn, some things such as clear oil and hemp are also added." ”

Li Tai put the black powder on the ground and lit it, looked at the fire in front of him, and looked at the white chess in confusion: "However, I always feel that this kind of thing should not only burn, it can also explode!" ”

Bai Qi looked at Li Tai in surprise, and then asked him to bring a new raw material, remix the ratio of one into five charcoal, one percent sulfur and seven into five saltpeter, and then said to Li Tai: "I remember reading in a book before, only these three materials are needed for the production of gunpowder, and the ratio is almost like this." ”

"Which book?" Li Tai's breathing was a little strained.

"Forgot!" White chess stalls.

Li Tai glanced at the white chess pieces with disdain, and then said: "If you put these gunpowder in a confined space and ignite them with a fuse outside, madman, do you think there will be an explosion?" ”

White rubbed his hands with great interest, and said with a smile: "I think that if you stuff gunpowder into it and make it stronger, it will be even more powerful!" ”

The two people, one big and one small, seemed to have found something interesting, smiling hehe, but their faces showed a divine luster. Taking a small bamboo tube that is closed on one side and open on the other, Bai Qi and Li Tai carefully filled it with gunpowder, and then slowly enriched the gunpowder inside with bamboo, pulled out a long lead, and finally sealed the bamboo tube and buried it underground.

drove the palace maids and guards all around, and the two hid far away, and called a guard to go up and light the fuse.

The sound of the "Zizizi" fuse burning sounded in the quiet palace of the King of Wei, and it quickly burned into the soil, but after a long while, there was still no movement.

At this moment, the guard touched his head and took two steps forward, wanting to go up and take a look, when smoke suddenly came out of the soil.

"Get out of the way!" Seeing this, White shouted at the squiggling guard, and then slammed Li Tai under him.

"Boom"!

A deafening sound erupted violently from the ground, and the entire palace shook. The section of the palace wall closest to where the gunpowder was buried was blown out by the aftermath of the gunpowder, and from the hole, some naked women could be seen running around in a panic.

White looked around again, and saw that the guard was now hanging on the tree, motionless, not knowing if he was still alive.

White Chess and Qingque looked at each other, and both of them swallowed their throats at the same time, their eyes full of strange luster.

Bai Qi licked his dry lips and asked in a trembling voice, "How much gunpowder did we put just now?" ”

Li Tai's eyes flickered, and he said uncertainly: "It should be about a catty...... and then he jumped up violently, dancing and saying, "Crazy, we succeeded!" ”

Bai Qi sat on the ground, his clothes covered with mud, and looked at Li Tai with a wry smile.

At this time, the entire imperial city moved, and waves of Praetorian Guards poured over from outside.

The eldest grandson carried a sword that was dripping blood, wearing armor, like a female general, and walked in from outside with a team of people in a fierce manner, his eyes swept sharply to Bai Qi and Li Tai on the ground, and shouted: "What happened here? ”

Li Shimin walked over with a gloomy face, glanced at the palace of King Wei that was blown up all over the ground, and glanced at the white chess fiercely: "It's your kid who caused the trouble again!" Come with me! ”

On the Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin glanced at Bai Qi kneeling on the ground and Li Tai sitting on a chair irritably, and asked, "You say, can this gunpowder be used on a large scale in the army?" ”

Bai Qi didn't speak, and Li Tai took over and said: "Father, the sons and daughters feel that this gunpowder is inherently used in war!" ”

Li Shimin laughed, patted Li Tai's shoulder, and praised loudly: "Good! ”

Once again, White felt that he was being ignored by Li Shimin.
